A study on the cellular differentiation of the gill structure in
juvenile coho salmon (O. kisutch) with emphasis on the excretion of
monovalent ions was performed upon animals maintained under both
seawater and freshwater environments.
1. The excretion rate of sodium-24 was observed to be higher
for animals adapted to...
Compared to conventional amorphous silicon (a-Si) TFTs, amorphous metal oxide TFTs have superior device performance such as
higher mobility, better sub-threshold swing, and lower off-state current. Amorphous metal oxide TFTs have an additional advantage
on the device uniformity due to the lack of grain boundary issues in the poly-Si TFTs....
Mutations in the metallo-protein Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in humans and an
expression level-dependent phenotype in transgenic rodents. We show that oral treatment with the therapeutic agent diacetyl-bis(4-methylthiosemicarbazonato)copper[superscript II] [Cu[superscript II](atsm)] increased the concentration of mutant SOD1 (SOD1G37R) in ALS model mice, but paradoxically improved locomotor...
